The Kuala Lumpur High Court will hear the committal proceedings tomorrow against 15 National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) members and former officials as well as their lawyer who had withdrawn RM1.2 million from the union's accounts.

The proceedings were originally scheduled for this morning. However, the case management judge of the civil division James Foong had changed the date to enable Judge Azmel Maamor to hear the case.

NUBE president Abdul Jalil Abdul Hamid said the proceedings were o­n the grounds that the 15 had breached a court order dated Feb 28 to return the money.

He said the 15 had also misused a interim order which prevented the NUBE elected officials from handling the union's accounts to withdraw the RM1.2 million in the first place.

"The 15 and their solicitor D Kalaimany from Messrs Kalai and Partners had obtained the (interim) order o­n Feb 22 by practising a deception o­n the courts," claimed Abdul Jalil.
